Driven to Extremes

Motoring expeditions, adventures and world record attempts.

Brought to you by the Max Adventure team, who have planned and led expeditions to the most extreme locations on the planet.

From the freezing wastes of the high Arctic and thin air of the Himalayas, to the world’s most stifling Jungles and inhospitable Deserts, we have set world firsts, broken world records and operated vehicles in the most challenging environments on earth.

    Those 404 estate at the time very popular in Portugal, now also collectable item. These share the same engine with the only Portuguese 4x4 called a UMM, from older to newer 2.5td Peugeot engine.

    We’re planning our overland trip - renewed our passports last year and the digital photos have expired. We know we need passport photos with us - do they need to be copies of ones in our passport? If so can we just take a photo of the copies and get them printed from there or can we have new photos done that don’t then match our passport ones?? Great videos - very informative, thank you

    Photos taken within the last 6 months are best to take with you and they don’t need to be the same as in your passport.

    How is the value of the car determined? If I purchased a 20 year old car for 1300 GBP.. is this the value that would be used?

  • @DriventoExtremes
    @DriventoExtremesАй бұрын

    You’ll have to check with CARS Europe who use the Carnets, but my understanding is that it’s based in current market value. Fortunately the accessories bolted to a vehicle (roof tent, winch, other mods etc) are not taken into account when they determine the value, just the base vehicle.

    We had a Webasto fitted to our vehicle but never used it. If we had used it, the engine drive belts would have got cold, brittle and snapped, so much better to keep the whole engine running.

    Brilliant Videos Mac, watched all three and very useful info. One question I do have relates to temporary import of vehicles. Those countries that don't require a CDP, as I understand it most require fees for temporary importing the vehicle... be interesting to know more on this, costs I know will vary... is this on every border outside the EU or just the lesser developed countries once you're further afield? or is it just better to do the CDP for every country outside the EU?

    Never had trouble with my MSR expedition stove! The only maintenance I do is after I use it I shake the stove vigorously so the shaker pin clears the jet for about a minute! No issue! Once a year I will take it apart and clean it. The plastic parts are robust and with new technology as strong if not better than metal!

    Much easier, simpler and cheaper (re modifications) just to keep the engine running the whole time. No electricity to power block heaters anyway.

    This has been what I've been searching for. Clear information coming from an experienced source. I've built out an expedition rig and I would really like to put my years as a photographer to use for a worthy cause instead of overlanding for leisure. How would you recommend that I find and connect with working expedition teams in need of a photographer with his own transportation?
